A Post-Election Talk-Show Future for Sarah Palin? A Right-Wing Oprah? A Velveeta Martha?

By The Etceterist

If Sarah Palin were a talk show host, who would she be? A little bit of Tyra? A little bit of Anne Coulter? A combo of both, chatting on both clothes and conservatism? A right wing Oprah?  The Velveeta Mooseburger Martha?

That is the question agents and managers at the top talent agencies in New York and Los Angeles began wondering over the weekend as they read the latest polls. Never mind that she is obliged to fulfill her term as governor of Alaska, a star is born, repeat, A Star is Born. And these agencies have just a few weeks to finalize their pitches to America’s most famous hockey mom, proposing the amazing deals they can do for her in the fields of books, television, radio, endorsements, moose hunts … you name it.

Here are a few of the ideas blowing in the wind … and in the minds of Hollywood’s and New York’s talent packagers:

— Room on "The View."
— A weekly "60 Minutes" segment with Sarah and Hillary Clinton reviving the 70s-era "Point-Counterpoint" style debates between Shana Alexander and the conservative James J. Kilpatrick.
— Her own daily talk show, positioned as the anti-Ellen.

While the talk show idea is said to play to Palin’s particular communications strengths, consensus is forming that a media career of some sort is in the stars if, as is increasingly likely, she does not find herself in Washington D.C. as Vice President this January.

Elaine, I said I wasn’t an expert, far from it. Thanks, very informative.

Contrary to popular belief, the New Testament book of Revelation does not provide a laundry list of signs for identifying the appearance of an anti-Christ. In fact, it neither uses the term “anti-Christ” nor describes such a figure.

The Bible doesn’t use the words dinosaurs either,but it describes the behemoth as being such. Therefore your argument is weak at best.

First assume ‘this’ and then say… ‘that’ (unrelated bit of flatsom)… ‘therefore’ (insert whatever the he** you feel like) The blinding brilliance of the circular argument.

I’d say more like the “Brilliance of light doing the Blinding”

Wake Up and Hear  The Fear In your Childs Voice
IN MY EARLIER POST I HAD STATED THAT AN E-MAIL WAS SENT TO ME AND POSTED IT! ON THIS SITE, IN THAT E-MAIL SENT TO ME IT STATES The Anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40’s, of MUSLIMdescent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal….the proph ecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, he will destroy everything.

I want to Know where does it say that in the bible…can you give me scripture ? ( of race and age of the Anti Christ )
Ms. Dee
Paw Paw, The Bible doesn’t say that. Check out the Snopes link in Barbara Taylor’s quote on the previous page of this thread. Revelation makes no reference to an “anti-christ”…just a big ol’ scary beast!
